Question

Determine the electric potential at point P

The image shows a right-angle arrangement of two point charges. - **Point A** is positioned at the top left corner and has a charge of +3.0 μC. - **Point B** is located at the bottom right corner and also has a charge of +3.0 μC. - **Point P** is at the vertex of the right angle, connecting both charges. The distance between each charge and point P is labeled as 'a'. The diagram effectively depicts two positive charges equidistant from a common point, forming a 90-degree angle at point P. This setup is typical for illustrating concepts such as electric fields and potential due to point charges in physics.
